Emily, There are a few "no nos" for calling that are not obvious. For example: "Never speak to an individual or small group while on mike." All such comments should be off-mike or you risk looking unprofessional. What you write on your cards with is up to the caller.
I always used a ball-point pen for my cards until I got them entered into a Filemaker Pro database about 20 years ago. Now I print them out. My penmanship is not great so this system is much better for me. Plus I can print out multiple copies of a basic dance program and keep one in my dance shoe bag, one in my car, etc. If someone is interested in a dance I call I can just give them the dance card and print a new one when I get home. - Greg McKenzie **************** On Sat, Jan 12, 2013 at 6:06 AM, Emily Addison <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Folks, > > The most basic of questions... does anyone write their dance cards with > pencil and if so, have they found that they smudge??? > > I'm quite a new caller and am a stage where I am figuring out my dance > organization.
